Now the chick is expected to transform herself into some sleek African princess? Vanessa Williams she is not.

Which is kinda funny given she was raised by her white mother after her black father walked out on them... She's as ghetto as Avril is punk.

FWIW, she looks pretty hot in the movie 'Smokin' Aces.'

Something she said in an interview not too long ago raised my eyebrow. I have been trying to find it because I wanted to bring it up here. Anyway, it seemed to me like she is already preparing for the possibility that something comes out, proving she and Kerry aren't really together.

....In recent interviews she says she has grown up and found herself. I could buy that if she didn't seem very conscious of the lesbian rumors. The media isn't really talking about that anymore but she is. She's not even consistent about her old attire. At first she said it was just her style, that she hated dresses. Then it was because men whistle at her & then it was because she wanted to be taken seriously as an artist.

When she was a new artist she was interviewed by Tavis Smiley. He brought up the gay rumors and it was like she froze. She had her her character in Smokin Aces "degayed" It was the only way she would take the part.She has made rude statements like "What's up with all this gay shit.(her response to the role)"

Yes, I think Alicia is hiding something.

Layla Ali is certainly NOT gay.

Layla's sister released a statement saying that her sister wasn't gay and that she always had a boyfriend.

Laila seems like the type to not care what people think. But so does Pink and she married a man.

By some people's definitions of lesbian, every hood chick from the ghetto would be lesbians too. lol.
I don't see how not being seen with any guys or being linked with several celebrities somehow makes you gay. I've never seen Keyshia Cole with any guys either, so?

The gay rumors come out, and she turns around and starts dressing up like a girl...You never see her out with a male date or anything. In her video with Usher, she looks extremely uncomfortable as Usher gets up close to her. Read the body language. She's definitely on my list for being an in-closet gay. It would hurt her career if she came out.

Like the prisoners wear their hair? Cornrows are a traditional African hairstyle. Anyway, speaking of her cornrows, I remember every girl in 2001-2 was trying to bite off her style LOL. She had pretty bad acne back than, but still gorgeous to me

If anyone knows the gossip queen Wendy Williams, then you will know that Wendy sends people out to industry parties and different functions to spy and see what's going on. Wendy is also a believer that Alicia is gay, even though Alicia denies it. I used to be a tom boy, but that didn't stop me from kissing boys in public... It wouldn't hurt her rep if she had a boyfriend and was open about. Most female artists have boyfriends, and it doesn't affect their careers. Male artists are the ones who should keep silent and remain single because being single and available helps their music sales...

False. She's known him for years before she got a record deal. But I suppose she has been planning on becoming an artist who will be rumored to be gay, and planned to have a stand in to pretend to be straight, lol.

So because she was raised by a white mother, her personality/she can't possibly be ghetto, lol.

Devils advocate...

He could be a very good friend who is doing her a favor since they are music partners...

I don't think she's that into guys. Just my opinion.
